I would love to have a windowsill herb garden (indoors), but my attempts last summer failed. I bought two types of basil, which I read was a pretty hardy plant, and both of them died within 2 weeks of my getting them. I pinched off the buds like the internet told me to do, didn't water them too much, and didn't repot them or anything. The only thing I can assume it was was that they weren't getting enough light maybe? They were on the windowsill, so they definitely got light, but maybe it wasn't enough? Does basil need direct sunlight all day long to grow? Is there anything else that could have killed off my plants?

Videodrome posted:What direct did the window face? If it wasn't facing south (assuming you are in the northern hemisphere) it probably wasn't getting enough light. My only south-facing window is in my bathroom. I've got both a north-facing window and an east-facing window in my kitchen. Should I give up my dreams of growing herbs on my windowsill?

MikeD posted:Haha, wait, are we to understand that your windowsill garden was on the inside of the window? Um, yes, since that's what I wrote in my first post. It was 17 degrees (Fareheit) here last night. I'm pretty sure herbs aren't going to live through that so well.
